I though this games was a FP TLOU but it seems is just a Dead Island clone, it seems gameplay is fluid. I think this game will be on plus for free by 2016...can wait

I don't want to wait a year or more to MAYBE get it free if it turns out good now and I can get it for 50% off week 1 on PS4.

...isn't u a vowel? eg "an urchin" or "an underling"

The general rule in modern English is that you go with the sound of the first letter, so 'a Ubisoft' is more often considered correct. Technically, both are allowed, but putting 'an' in front of a 'y-sound' word like Ubisoft is considered awkward.

Example: 'A history' vs 'an honest' are correct uses based on the nature of their sounds.

Well in a year or less this game will be like 20-15 bucks...i think is a fair price for it..

 

[Crayons]

Brandon Jones on the Gametrailers stream right now said there are no memorable moments in the game. Damn lol. He's not jazzed about the game. Every critic is now rushing for reviews.

WHERE DEM CRAYONS AT

yes. hello?

 

[crookedaxis]

is it bad that i got excited about this one because of the Albert Camus quote at one of the trailers?

Yeah, for me, $30 to not wait 10 months or so is fair, so long as the game is good.

Jim Sterling - Dead Island 7/10
Jim Sterling - Dead Island Riptide 5/10

Jim Sterling - Far Cry 3 8/10
Jim Sterling - Far Cry 4 6.5/10

Jim Sterling - Watch Dogs 9/10

Jim Sterling - Assassin's Creed Unity 5/10

Jim Sterling - Assassin's Creed II 4.5/10

I've really no clue what this is supposed to mean. My own opinion might not match his in regards to some of those games but it seems like a pretty weird false equivalency to compare old Ubisoft game reviews by him to a couple of sarcastic tweets. I'd give that 9 apples out of 10 oranges.

...and reading that Assassin's Creed 2 review makes me feel like I somehow played a completely different game. Ezio 4 life.

"A You-bisoft" is correct, but if you say "an Oo-bisoft" it should be "an."

Probably pronounces it "Ooobisoft"

 

[IAmRandom31]

Dunno not really getting much out of these streams. Seems fairly basic.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Its loading!!

 

[DontMindMe]

Its loading!!

I don't believe you!

EDIT: At least it isn't on PC

 

[SlasherJPC]

This had me laughing hysterically during a co op session. https://account.xbox.com/en-US/game...jpc&scid=b5fe0100-c634-4d68-870b-7bc83182b40a

 

[ironcreed]

Well damn, it needs a 2.2 GB update first.

 

[Flunkie]

wtf, I'm trying to preorder and it says "We're sorry.
Due to high demand, this item is sold out and has been removed from your order:

Dying Light - PlayStation 4"

at Best Buy

edit: nvm, was able to do it when I selected ship it to me instead of in store pickup, guess I'm not playing til Thursday... this'll give me time to finish Dragon Age finally

That tearing around 18 secs is that only on the recording or ingame?

 

[constantstatic]

It's working on ps4 mapping jump to r1 is kind of annoying. Some alternate control schemes would have been nice.

I think it's supposed to point out a pattern in his opinions on games. Dying Light is basically Dead Island and Assassin's Creed rolled into a ball, his past opinions on those games will probably hold true with this game.

 

[Dubz]

How do I DL the MP on PS4? It asked me what to DL when I preloaded and I picked the SP. Now I can't figure out how to DL the MP.

That was awesome hahah

Then he's double wrong

 

[Askherserenity]

yep

Haha, I came into this thread to ask if this was just Assassins Creed, Watch Dogs, Far Cry or Mordor but with Zombies.

Oh welll.

 

[jadedm17]

From what I gathered watching 30 minutes of a stream and the streamer gathering dozens of quests - even noting "wow I have so many quests" - this is my concern too, that there's just a ton of boring missions instead of any interesting ones.

Again, how do you decide if you trust a reviewer? You read their reviews on multiple similar games and genres over time. Dying Light is like Dead Island, AC, Mirror's Edge, and Far Cry. I posted as many of those as he has done, and that's a very good way to decide how much weight that this very popular reviewer's opinion may earn from you.

 

[Chrono Gamer]

Guys & gals, I'm feeling real bad vibes with the day 1 update of 1.75 in PS4. Currently I'm downloading, but in my insides, it keeps growing a bad feeling about it

Wolfenstein had a huge one, turned out positively.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Yes he is..oobisoft..urgh.

Anyway, quick 15 minute impressions and its great so far, what stands out though is the 5.1. Its fantastic. Excellent soundspace.

It's subjective opinion. Read their reviews and decide if they consistently articulate their views well -- even when you don't agree. Because they are opinions. You decide which reviewers are worth following based on the quality of their work, not how often their opinions match with yours. Now if you are 100% looking for a consumer guide, then yes, you will want to find someone that generally has the same 1:1 taste as yours are they will probably come close to liking or disliking the game the way you will. But that doesn't necessarily mean you will get the best critical analysis by simply following the person you agree with most.

*shrugs* depends on what you want.

For the record, I personally agree with most of those scores outside of Watch Dogs. Not that my taste matters in this example.

There is tearing in the xbox one version occasionally.

 

[Evolved1]

My friend in Europe cannot DL this for 17 hours? I thought this was worldwide release on the 27th?

EU release is on the 28th.

As for Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia, the digital PS4 and Xbox One versions will release January 28.

Hahah brilliant. I have a couple awesome moments filmed. I think there are going to be some gifs come midnight.

 

[Mifec]

Aw that sucks :/ Well I guess it doesn't matter if you are having fun.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Yeah I'm curious how PS4 holds up. Though honestly, getting in the zone with the free running is something else.

 

[OsirisBlack]

I have said this in countless other threads Tearing is my biggest pet peeve in gaming. I absolutely hate it.

Good point. Wolfies was a source of concern big time when it happened.

Ouch your going to have some moments then

 

[Evolved1]

Okay thank you... and no preload apparently. Jesus.

 

[plasmawave]

yep

Jimpressions?

That's great.

 

[jond76]

I pre-bought digitally on Xbox and when I first woke in the tower, I got a message that I had 4 dockets waiting at the quartermasters. So there ya go.

Those are some odd scores...I might watch them later, just to see how he came to those scores.

Imagine a world where every game was 'Mind-blowing'

Sweet merciful fuck! 8 pages and nobody here can offer up a personal opinion/impression of how the game is?

Are none of you even playing (a digital version) yet?

It's been out for like half an hour and only on some platforms, some still waiting.

I'm playing, just got out of the tutorial section. Give us a chance! haha

I am currently installing the 2.2 GB update on the Xbox One version. I'll be able to try it here shorty.

 

[Megatron]

I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews but I am now thinking I am more likely not going to pick up my pre order.

Do you like Dead Island? It's like a mixture of Far Cry and Dead Island. I like both those games, so I'm enjoying it. Only a half hour in though. Just passed the tutorial.

 

[Phlebas]

Any PC/PS4 impressions?
